Chapter 178 - The Modern Day Cabin

"What?" 

Li Ming raised her eyebrows at the old man who had been staring at her for the past two hours.

After finishing her lunch and cleaning everything up, she sat down to draw a rough sketch of a two-bedroom cabin.

Since she was not really great in the field of architecture, therefore it took her quite a lot of time to think of ideas.

Finally, she ended up drawing a modern-day cabin.

She knew that the two men were keeping their eyes on her every movement but she did not pay them any attention.

It was already past noon and she needed to build a house for herself before the sunset, though there was no sun in the Snow Fields at that moment.

The old man just huffed at her question and settled down on his doorstep. 

Li Ming decided to ignore him as she clapped her hands and the space in front of her became plain. 

She placed the sheet of her rough sketch of the cabin on the ground and transferred her spiritual energy unto the paper.

The paper disappeared and the sketch made by black thread-like wire appeared on the snow-covered ground.

Within the next two minutes, the entire sketch of the cabin was placed on the ground and Li Ming started inserting the iron beams.

The two men stared at the girl who was performing miracles in front of their very eyes. How come they never knew that such things existed?

By the time the watch on Li Ming's wrist hit five pm, a brand new cabin was standing in the very front of the old man's hut.

She even created a small lawn in front of her cabin which was surrounded by a small fence. 

"This...! How? You are only a first-level Master Cultivator. How can you create an entire house within a few hours? It's impossible!" 

The old man kept shaking his head as he first stared at the beautiful cabin and then at the girl who was standing there smirking at him.

"Come on, old man. It's just the beginning. You will need to be calmer to get through the rest of the challenge. Good luck!" 

Li Ming didn't wait for a single more minute as she immediately entered the cabin.

The Heaven Emperor clasped his hands in greetings as he bowed slightly as he said, "Master, I'll be going to enjoy a good night's sleep since I have a home now. See you in the morning. Good night!"

And with these words, the Heaven Emperor too entered inside the cabin.

The old man was flabbergasted as he was left there at the doorstep of his hut. Did he really underestimate the girl?

---

Currently, two Immortals who were sitting in the East Pavilion of the Moon Manor were laughing so hard that they were almost about to fall out of their seats.

Three more Immortals were also present in the room, though they too were smirking after looking at the expressions of their Master, but they were nowhere near falling from their seats.

They just sat on their seat as they looked at Li Ming leaving the one and only Master of Immortals speechless.

"I can't wait to be present there with her." Zhang Yong said as he finally calmed down and settled on his seat.

"Me too."

Ruoshan showed his agreement as he nodded his head.

"You two...." Hei Long immediately shut his mouth off as the others passed him death glares.

"You all can't be serious. I was just helping her!" The Second Demon Prince groaned out as he looked at the circle of brothers.

Were they seriously going to be upset at him just because he taught the girl the simplest and fastest way to enter the Snow Fields?

Just when Ruoshan was about to say something, a handsome face appeared on the magical mirror through which they all were watching the drama that was taking place in the Snow Fields.

"I'm curious to know exactly why you guys are spying on us. Any special reason?" The voice of the Heaven Emperor filled the East Pavilion of the Moon Manor.

"Huh? Oh no, nothing like that. We just wanted to see exactly how the Master will behave after seeing you. After all, we have to make our appearance there too." Ruoshan immediately answered.

The Heaven Emperor looked at the Immortals with a suspicious gaze but he didn't say anything else on the topic.

"Don't worry. The worst that he could do is to put you all in the dungeons present in the depths of the Snow Fields."  

With these words, his face disappeared from the mirror and it became completely empty.

"What happened?" Zhang Yong asked as he let his spiritual energy flow over the mirror but nothing happened.

"We can't see what's going on there any longer through this mirror. He probably cut off our spiritual connection." Wen Guiying answered as he stood up from his seat.

He needed to set up a new array for the next training session the coming morning. 

"Why would he do that? How are we gonna watch Ming'er?" Zhang Yong asked with a huff.

"When are we going there?" Ruoshan asked the Moon Immortal.

"Soon!"

They just wanted to give the Heaven Emperor enough time alone with Li Ming.

All they were waiting was for him to recognize her and they all would instantly be there with her.

----

The Heaven Emperor entered into the cabin and came across the living room where dark blue colored sofas were placed around a wooden coffee table.

A pot of bonsai tree was sitting on the cabinet which was placed under the small window beside the sofas.

On the other side of the room was an open kitchen attached to the small dining area where a table was arranged with a bouquet of fresh roses in the center of it.

A small hall led to two rooms and a bathroom, which obviously was modern.

Li Ming doubted that the Immortal would need to use the bathroom, therefore she built it according to her own requirements.

She hurriedly set up the two bedrooms. There was a huge bed, a closet, a bean bag, a pot filled with lavender, and a window in each of the two rooms.

A bright red colored carpet made of soft silk was placed on the floor, giving the final touches to the simple but elegant rooms.

"Are you going to eat dinner or not? I'm not interested in wasting any food." Li Ming asked the Immortal as she entered the kitchen.

She started taking out ingredients for the dinner. Until she could grow vegetables in the Snow Fields, she was going to use them from her magical mansion.

The old man prohibited the Immortal from using his powers to help her but he said nothing about her using her own powers.

The Heaven Immortal was quiet for a few seconds before he asked, "What are you going to cook?" 

Li Ming answered his question by taking out a freshly cleared chicken. She raised her eyebrows at him as she waited for his reply.

The slight nod of his head was the only answer that she got but it was enough for her to start with her work.

She started cooking the dinner as she listened to Snowy and Mallow complaining about her being heartless as she had not cooked for them in quite some time.

Letting out a sigh she decided to cook for those two devils too.

It took her more than an entire hour to finish the cooking. By the time she finished, it was already eight in the evening.

A light snow had already started falling outside and the inside of the cabin was slowly starting to freeze.

Li Ming sat down in one of the sofas and settled down in a the lotus position.

She closed her eyes and channeled her powers to increase the temperature of the insides of the cabin.

The very next second, the entire cabin was filled with warmth even though it was freezing outside.

The Heaven Emperor watched silently as the girl performed one after another miracle in front of his eyes.

It was not like what she was doing was not possible, but the fact that a very young girl who was only at the Master Cultivator Rank was the one behind all these, was the main reason behind their curiosity and shock.

For the next half an hour they ate their dinner in silence.

It had been years since the Heaven Emperor last tasted mortal food and he would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy every single second of it.

He watched silently as Li Ming took care of the dirty dishes. He wanted to offer his help but didn't know exactly what to do or say.

The Heaven Emperor was feeling nervous for the very first time in his life as he watched the girl put a cup of freshly brewed herbal tea in front of him as she also settled down on the chair opposite to him.

"Who are you?"

"And exactly who you are?"

They both asked at the very same moment, making a soft smile appear on both their faces.

"Hi. I'm Li Ming."
